Heres a little look at how I wrap a box..for some of you its old news..

THe first thing I do is round over the edges of the box..no sharp stuff,then I will some time paint the edges the color of the carpet so if there is any spots that get pulled alittle to much they wont show in the carpet.

The first thing I do is center the box on a piece of carpet thats big enough to over lap on all sides..

as you can see this is all the material that you have to move around..

you will end up pulling up on this fairly hard to get a good stretch..

now with most carpet jobs like this one the uncoverd area would be on the bottom....well with this one the owner will be moving things around alot so I put on a cover panel for the bottom..where I think he will put his amps...

Most of the time you dont do a panel for the bottom..you just wrap a the carpet to the bottom of the box!!

that is so sexy

im guessing youre using non backed stretchable carpet, right? or is it something really special?

do you start stapling at the corners? center? some random spot? start on a short or long side?
